KENOSHA - Eric Busalacchi is the first-round leader at the State Amateur golf tournament.

Busalacchi, who graduated this spring from Carroll University in Waukesha, shot a five-under-par 67 on a hot but breezy day at the links-style Strawberry Creek course.

Max Hosking of Madison and Brady Strangstalien of Westby are tied for second at four-under-68. UW-Parkside junior Jake Wisniewski is three strokes back in fourth place.
